The Walten Files

The Walten Files is absolutely one of the most perfectly written and put together web series I've watched. I absolutely love this series and hope it gets the attention it deserves.

The Walten Files is a quality web series. It's a little slow at times, but it builds up tension and can genuinely be scary. It also has a good and enjoyable story with some nice mystery. The series is overall very awesome.

The Walten Files is an amazing show that has several disturbing moments.

Episode 01 - Company Introductory Tape starts the series off slow. It introduces us to Bunny Smiles Inc, a company which has previously had several mysteries surrounding it. We even get to see one of these gruesome kills toward the end of the episode.

Episode 02 - The Relocate Project revives the series, however. No longer just a short introduction, we see several tapes which all happen at the same time - a contrast to the tapes being all over the place in the prior episode. Once again, we get to see a gruesome kill, even more horrific this time. This episode keeps you hooked onto what will come.

Episode 03 - BunnyFarm brings in a lot more scares. Following the previous episodes, it takes a new direction of a haunted arcade game. This allows to show several haunting deaths, even more disturbing than before. Finally, Episode 04 - CyberFun Tech brings the series in another new direction. Now less centred around spooky scares, instead it begins to tell an interesting story - still with some disturbing moments. It also takes the series away from found footage, instead making it an animated horror series. Overall, the series is very promising and gets me exited for the upcoming episodes.

The main story of the series is very heavily inspired by the five nights at freddys series, drawing on many of the same elements. However the visual and auditory design of the tapes is amazingly well done, and work together to create a truly creepy atmosphere.

My critiques for this series are very few. The story is easy to follow, the art style is true to the theme of the series, which adds to the creep factor, the lore is my god, SO GOOD, and it does require a bit of thought to process some things shown. For something that was originally a fan game of FNaF, it's actually really good. But positive things aside, I will get into my very few critiques. (This is not a complaint but I will say the series is very gory and there is LOTS of body horror, real screaming, distorted faces, eye contact, and realistic animation.* The story can drag on at times, but is overall easy to follow. There are times where you are left at a point where you have no idea what is happening. The story is a bit too inspired by FNaf, but I'll let it slide because they put an amazing twist on it. I enjoyed the extra videos they hid inside, but I wish there was more. That's it. Enjoy the series. Peace.
